Not exactly. Rangers count as having those feats when wearing light armour, they essentially get them for free. If you buy them for a character, like a fighter for instance, then they can duel wield in any kind of armour. My fighter has an AC in the thirties and is duel wielding. Dex 15 is still useful for fighters who want to use ranged weapons. I started with a dex of 12 so by the time I got up to dex 15 and could take the duel wielding feats I had a high enough attack bonus that the -4 didn't bother me. I used 2 longswords. That way I got extra use out of weapon focus, specialisation and improved critical.
